Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens weighs in on Jayson Tatum’s rookie season and not surprisingly zeroes in on one thing the former Blue Devil needs to do to improve: get stronger.

Tatum showed some solid strength in the Cleveland, particularly when he was willing to go toe to toe with LeBron James, who is as powerful as anyone in the league.
